While Carla González spoke today about how we would do the credits of my next project, I decided to dedicate this humble entry, in my humble blog to Saul Bass: The Grand Master of the Appropriations . It's funny because I did not know, but before yesterday, on April 25, was also 14 years since, the Bronx, left the directors, actors writers and producers orphaned and homeless, because none will be presented so great or ever, their names will be written into works of art.
And this tribute I want to do while listening to Bernard Herrmann , only in conjunction with Saul Bass were two of the mainstays in the works of another great master, Alfred Hitchcock . Then, several years later, another teacher who had grown up watching and admiring the work of the three, Martin Scorsese tried to recover for the cause, of good movies, of course, the composer and graphic designer for his films. In fact, recent work of both artists were New York with director.
could talk about that made wonderful use of colors (mostly very much alive) of those flames of an explosion and those neon lights casinos in Las Vegas, with Robert de Niro flying through the air ahead of them in "Casino ," his last work for the cinema. Could say it was the only one who has worked for the most respected film directors in history, as the aforementioned Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger , Billy Wilder, John Ford , Stanley Kubrick and of course Martin Scorsese . I could talk about who won an Oscar for the short film "Why Man Creates" , that he went because he was an artist in any facet that is proposed, to say nothing of their advertising designs and logos, and poster design for the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, and the unforgettable movie posters that could very well be hanging on the walls of any museum the world (in my room, it's no museum, gave him a wall poster of "Vertigo " of Alfred Hitchcock , 1958).
But what I can not say is that was a magician. A magician can give life to plane figures, points, straight lines and not so straight or cut, whether or not they move. A magical wizard who gave a portion of the semi-forgotten film that forever changed the world of typography and the importance of the credits, a master of composition, I was getting that, but after their work, came a cinematic masterpiece, we will credit recorded in the memory for the rest of the film, and in many cases for the rest of our lives.
Thanks Master, has been no one like you. All who are crying for your loss film. No one will raise their names into the sky ...
